The tremendous demands from social market are pushing the development of mobile communications faster than ever before, leading to plenty of new techniques emerging. Within those techniques, mobility management has widely been recognized as one of the most important problems for a seamless access to wireless networks and services. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for mobility and mobi...

Cellular networks have been hierarchical so that mobility management have primarily been deployed in a centralized architecture. More flattened network architecture for the mobile Internet is anticipated to meet the needs of rapidly increasing traffic from the mobile users and to reduce cost in the core network. Distributing the mobility management functions as opposed to centralizing them at t...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of new methods of management on creativity, self-efficiency and mobility of human resources in sport organizations. all top managers and heads of sport and youth office (sports bodies) in the province participated in this study. 37 top managers and 176 presidents and vice presidents of sports bodies were randomly selected as the sample. the multi-...

Various services supports are the principal requirements of the Fourth Generation (4G) system; therefore, the need to improve integration of heterogeneous networks is significant. This paper amends EVOLUTE (a project of Information Society Technologies (IST)) to strengthen mobility management. This paper uses Multicast-based Mobility (M&M) to aid Cellular IP (CIP) in micro-mobility management. ...

One of the main issues with Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) is slow handovers. Mobility protocols are classified as micro or macro depending on the domain of the network. When macro mobility protocols are used in managing localized mobility requirements, they result in slow handovers and delays that result in loss of packets and make these protocols unsuitable for time sensitive applications. Mi...

Seamless mobility management of the mesh clients (MCs) in wireless mesh network (WMN) has drawn a lot of attention from the research community. A number of mobility management schemes such as mesh network with mobility management (MEMO), mesh mobility management (M(3)), and wireless mesh mobility management (WMM) have been proposed. The common problem with these schemes is that they impose unif...

The IETF Mobile IPv6 protocol provides a mobility management scheme for the Internet. Mobile IPv6 handles macro-mobility and micro-mobility identically. We believe that a hierarchical scheme that separates micro-mobility from macromobility is preferable since it would be more scalable. In this paper, we present a mobility management architecture that makes use of the IPv6 Address format hierarc...

Mobility management is the fundamental technology to enable the seamless access to wireless networks and mobile services. Mobile IP is currently the most promising solution for mobility management in the Internet. The objective of this paper is to reconsider Mobile IP based mobility management solutions, with the emphasis on the proposal of new mobility management architectures. First, it is re...

Context is any information that can enhance a computing system’s relevance, timeliness, and usefulness to the user. Recent research has been devoted to the use of context in a mobile environment, particularly in handling the mobility itself. This chapter will start with defining what context is, how it is represented, and present a generalized system architecture. The authors then look at the p...
